"Don't worry, as long as you can pass on this alchemy method to me, I, as the young master of Dark Star Auction House, guarantee that I will give you a generous reward."
Situ Xue's eyes were filled with fervor.
But Lin Jinglong shook his head.
Refining blood pills is not difficult; the only challenge lies in the Heavenly Silkworm Technique, an ancient immortal-level technique that can transform one's spiritual energy into Heavenly Silkworm silk.
It has a transformative effect on the body's meridians and blood vessels.
Therefore, the only way to easily refine Blood Pills is through Heavenly Silkworm Spirit Silk.
Moreover, Lin Jinglong was also very surprised by Situ Xue.
She clearly doesn't have mastered the Heavenly Silkworm Spirit Silk, so how did she manage to refine a Blood Pill that's the highest grade five?
"Does it mean you think I can't afford to pay you?"
Seeing his silence, Situ Xue began to frown.
"My refining method comes from a celestial-level cultivation technique. If you want it, you can exchange it with me for a cultivation technique of the same level, even a fragment."
Lin Jinglong has a very open-minded attitude towards this matter.
At worst, I'll just pass on the first three transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique to her, provided that Situ Xue can produce a fragment of a celestial-level technique of the same grade.
Upon hearing this, Situ Xue's face immediately froze.
Wu Shenji chuckled awkwardly.
"Immortal-level cultivation techniques? Even the five great imperial blood families would go crazy for them. Our Dark Star Auction House does have some in reserve, but even the young master doesn't have the authority to trade items of this level."
"Elder Shenji, watch your words!"
Situ Xue glanced at them with displeasure.
She gave Lin Jinglong a deep look.
"The method for refining high-grade blood pills is indeed extremely valuable. Is it a fragment of a celestial-level cultivation technique?"
"I'll prepare it for you."
Lin Jinglong looked at her in surprise again.
"Why do you want to refine blood pills? With your status, you can enjoy a huge amount of nurturing resources. The bloodline talent of a hidden family doesn't seem to be that attractive."
For independent cultivators, obtaining a bloodline inheritance from a reclusive family could transform them completely.
But people like Situ Xue.
It's clear they have no shortage of resources and techniques.
Why be so obsessed with the bloodline of a reclusive family?
But she silently shook her head.
"You don't need to worry about this. Once I've prepared the cultivation method, you can teach me the technique. I'm determined to master the art of refining blood pills."
So Lin Jinglong stopped asking questions.
At this moment, the auction finally began.
Most of the people present packed up their stalls and headed to a hall at the back of the manor, where everything was already set up for the twelve items to be auctioned that evening.
After taking their seats in the first row.
Lin Jinglong sat with Lin Tianlang and Situ Xue on his left and right sides, and then he looked around.
Hundreds of people had already taken their seats behind him.
They were all high-ranking officials from various factions, all wealthy and powerful. He also noticed that the young master of the Qian family was sitting a few seats to his left, staring at him with a displeased expression.
"You adulterous couple!"
Qian Duolu muttered a curse under his breath.
Lin Jinglong then looked to his right, where a Taoist priest in a green robe with an air of otherworldly grace, white hair and a youthful face, was holding a whisk and casting an enigmatic glance at him.
She even raised her hand and smiled to greet him.
Lin Jinglong stared at the other person.
Who is this person?
At this moment, Lin Tianlang looked over with a solemn expression.
He explained telepathically, "This person is Zhuge Qing, the abbot of Shenqing Temple, a sixth-level Martial Emperor, and the patriarch of the Shenqing lineage of the Zhuge family. His late-life son, Zhuge Qi, died at your hands."
Lin Jinglong met the Taoist priest's gaze once again.
"Zhuge Qing!"
He recalled his first encounter with the Lin family's prodigy, when he was ambushed by the Divine Clarity Formation, and later Zhuge Qi planned to use the same trick again.
He broke the Divine Clarity Formation with a Soul-Startling Talisman.
Ultimately, he met his end in a very frustrating way.
Lin Jinglong looked at the Taoist priest's mysterious smile.
"Heh, so you've come here to take revenge on me."
He knew that the Lin family wouldn't let the matter rest.
The Zhuge family and the Lin family have been allies for many years. It is said that Lin Wuyou's remnant soul was recovered by the Zhuge family's secret method.
"It seems that the Lin family is also behind Zhuge Qing. I wonder what they plan to do to me tonight?"
Zhuge Qing suddenly appeared here.
This made Lin Jinglong more vigilant.
The other party is definitely not here to participate in the auction, after all, the heirs who were born late in life all died at his hands.
How could Zhuge Qing swallow this insult?
However, Lin Jinglong didn't need to worry about anything inside the Dark Star Auction House. Even a high-level Martial Emperor couldn't withstand the great formation here, and neither the Zhuge family nor the Lin family dared to make a move here.
The auction began quickly.
Items were continuously brought to the front table for auction.
Besides high-grade precious pills, there were also two immortal-level martial arts manuals, as well as some strange and unusual items whose origins even the Dark Star Auction House couldn't discern.
The most valuable item was a Celestial-level martial arts technique.
It was auctioned off for a high price of 5,000 points.
But none of these items appealed to Lin Jinglong.
He only cared about the Heavenly Silkworm Sect's secret manual, wanting to know what kind of ancient opportunity was hidden behind the spiritual mist that had left Wu Shenji helpless.
"Next up for auction is an ancient immortal sect manual, which is suspected to record the hidden inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Silkworm Sect. However, it is sealed by spiritual energy, and no one can decipher its contents for the time being. Therefore, the starting price is very low and affordable."
"Three thousand points, with each increment starting at one hundred points!"
The sweet-looking auctioneer on the stage introduced the event.
The crowd behind Lin Jinglong was somewhat in an uproar.
